Thanks for the info.

[Gahanna Bob]

We’re all gonna die.

[George from New England]

Just exploded my a$$.

How many years ago did this explode ? Maybe 10 years ago.

[YOMO]

Women, children and minorities hit hardest.

[George from New England]

5,500 years ago.
Back when satan tricked Eve.

[Jamestown1630]

Rats. We’ve got cloud cover and fog.

[exDemMom]

It exploded more like 5,500 years ago.

[ALASKA]

I thought that I’m going to hear something!

[fidelis]

Yup, 5.000 years ago, but we are just seeing it now. For all we know, it might not even exist anymore. That’s kind of mind blowing.

[JaguarXKE]

How many years ago did this explode ? Maybe 10 years ago.

"The eclipsing variable (binary) star CzeV3217, which lies at an approximate distance of 5,500 light-years from the Solar System."

So we can surmise that the actual event we are seeing now happened at least 5500 years ago.

The more I read about those 5 stars reveals that the constellations we see are only those patterns when viewed from here, aka our solar system. All five of the stars are at radically different distances and have no relationship to each other, other than ‘appearing together’ from solely our vantage point. How often do we even think about it that way. So the big dipper is not really close stars in real space.

[Notforprophet]

There are no close stars in real space.

Magnitude 9.6? In theory a person can see down to the 6th magnitude with the naked eye. If you live in a city you are lucky if you can see 3rd and 4th magnitude stars. I think 5 magnitudes represents 100 times difference in brightness, so a magnitude 9.6 star would be 1/100th as bright as a 5.6 magnitude star. So you probably need a small telescope and a clear sky away from any cities to see this nova. But maybe it will get much brighter.

The Iceman had not been born yet when this nova exploded.

Cassiopeia has had bigger fireworks...a supernova or two.

[freedumb2003]

You will hear it in about 6 x 10^11 years.

The only way to counter this and save ourselves is with a one world government.
